Barron County. /,
CLINTON, Barron Co.. Wis. .

DCO- - 1901.
In accordance with my agreement to
write up something that might be of
interest to the readers of the JoURNAI,
| take this opportunity to comply.
While some parts of Barron county
would seem to have been well named,
had il been spelled Barren, other parts
are very fertile and covered with a
rich growth of valuable timber, which
at present constitutes the greatest re-
rource of the country, and altogether
is not so far behind her sister counties
although not as old as some of them.
A large portion of the pine has been
cut off, but there is large amount of
hard wood timber which, though not
SO heavy as in some portions of Pierce
Co, is of a much better quality for
lumber.
A large amount of wood is to be cut
this winter in all parts of the timber
ed country, and considerable amount
of numbering will be done.
Barron, the county seat, is flour
ishing town of about thousand i'll.
habitants, having a -four, wooden,
stave, and two saw mills, TIVE of which
are propelled by water power, the 9th.
ers by steam.
Cumberland is also in this county,
but as it has to depend mostly upon
numbering interests will not be as long
lived as Barron, although at present it
is doing considerable business, having
two saw-mills which manufacture an
immense quantity of lumber during
the year.
The town of Clinton, situated in the
western part of the county, is settled
by some of Pierce county's old set
tiers, among whom are Chas. Marsh,
o. A. Warren, Geo. Campbell, Rolla
Marsh, B. ToOthman, r. Shelto and a
few others.

The study of drawing is now recog-

its introduction has been followed by
such good results, that it is now con-

very best exercises for even the
youngest pupils. To teachers in want
of an easy series of lessons for use in
the school.room, we heartily recon-

mic, st. Croix Co., Wisconsin, Sunday,
Dec 18th, 1887. He was born in Ger

mon and Ann Williams, the former of

10 Carroll Co., Indiana, in 1888, to Rock
ton. Winnebago Co, Illinois, in 1851, and

section fourteen, where he lived until his
death. He married Frances BABYLON, Oct
18th, 1929 in Burns, \. V, who died in
Delphi, Indiana, June 22d, 1850. He had
five children of whom two, Samuel w. of
Kinnikinnic, and James III. of st. Paul,

He had an attack of paralysis three

o. S. Powell is giving ensilage a full
and fair trial. At his home farm he
put the corn from 10 acres into silo
of three bins, and commenced feeding
30 head of cattle. 10 horses, and $50
sheep ON the 10Th day of November,
and finds that his stock is all doing
we'll, and that the three bins will carry
them through to spring in fine condi-
tion. Mr.. Powell's undertaking, fol-
lowed by such results, seems to settle
the silo question.
